I always say that I should have been born in a different time. Victorian would have been nice with the styles, but I'd like the creature comforts too. What I'd really like I think is the 50's - a little more recent but women were stay at home wives and mothers more so. I miss that - I'm a homebody at heart.

I could say "ditto" to everything Leann said above. We had an Advent Tea at our church a couple of weeks ago. Some of us had little parts to read, and I was delighted to see that some of the teenaged girls were given readings. I really hate to be critical, but almost all of them were in sweats! I long for simpler times, refinement without snobbishness, good manners. I try to live these things in my home and hope I've passed them on to my adult children.

Fabulous pictures of a bygone era in decorating. The Victorian era does evoke a very dramatic,luxuriant and romantic style and it is fun to imagine living in a place such as the Commanders Mansion. You must have been swooning as you walked from room to room! How fun!

I do enjoy a fireplace mantle and have 2 in my house that I love to decorate for all the holidays. I have no chandelier, but would like to have one in my hallway someday.

P.S TedsWoodworking has fast become the most popular woodworking package. The sale price will not last forever. If you are looking for best blueprints, illustrations and plans to make any project easy and hassle-free, than I urge you to get in while its cheap.
